They are both started on demand. If they're running in your jail, then it most likely means that something inside your jail has started them. Both gdomap and gdnc are intended to allow messaging between computers on the local network and so will bind to a public IP. Given that neither of them has had any kind of serious security auditing (or even anyone trying to fuzz their parsers), I'd strongly recommend firewalling them off from the outside world.
